Activist Tips: Getting Things Done

Activist Tips: Getting Things Done

This is the first of a series of posts on tips and tools for activists.

Several years ago I read a book called Getting Things Done that really helped me become more organized and capable of doing more in less time. I’m not a great practitioner of the methods outlined in the book, but even implementing a few of the methods can really help you take control of that crazy to-do list and email inbox.

The author, David Allen, makes a number of free articles available on his website as well, and he’s recently published a new book.

Don’t be put off by the businessy look of the book and the ideas. As activists we need to be as effective as possible, and this book is a valuable tool to getting more done when we barely have time to do anything at all.
